    Ooh, I can’t choose between barnevelder and barred rocks. Yes, barred rock is kinda cliché, but we had one named Spock. She was the smartest chicken we’ve ever had! Guess we jinxed her😂

    Feeding your flock amidst of feed shortages

    Any thoughts on Brown Swiss? I know they aren’t fast with reproduction, but to me that’s a plus, for a family cow.

    Hey guys, were getting some welsh harlequin ducklings tomorrow, super excited! But I’ve got a coop question: what do y’all do for coop bedding? I’m considering switching from hay to sand, but I’m not sure yet. Any other suggestions or tips?
